After the appearance of so many half-step Rulers, the Martial Epoch's Heavenly Dao seemed to have reached its end, entering a period of decline. Compared to what many people had expected, the Heavenly Dao would flourish for at least several tens of millions of years, which was frighteningly short.
But then again, thinking about how many half-step rulers had appeared in the past hundred thousand years, everyone felt that it was normal. The world wasn't unchanging, and it wasn't limitless. There was always a limit. Some people could plunder a little more, while others could only plunder a little less.
This was because such an age had never happened before. Even when the Fortune Creation Heavenly Monarch was in power, there had never been so many half-step Rulers at the same time.
In fact, after the Fortune Creation Heavenly Monarch advanced to Ruler, the only active half-step Ruler was the previous Middle Heavenly Venerate.
It could be said that the Great Era of that time was not even a third of what it was now.
This was also why there was a saying that the Fortune Creation Heavenly Monarch was inferior to Martial Monarchs and Qin Monarchs.
It was very simple. When the Fortune Creation Heavenly Monarch was in power, although the world's strength was consolidated, it did not reach a higher level.
However, when Martial Monarchs and Qin Monarchs were in power, the Martial Epoch's strength soared, reaching a peak that had never been seen since ancient times.
However, this saying only spread in secret. Just the Fortune Divine Capital alone could not tolerate such rumors. The Fortune Divine Capital's foundation and its ability to contend with the other two Holy Lands was due to the Fortune Creation Heavenly Monarch. How could they allow others to slander the Fortune Creation Heavenly Monarch?
When the Martial Epoch entered a period of decline, Ye Xiwen appeared again. He wanted to mend the heavens. This was different from the previous time. Last time, he was severely injured by the Heavenly Dao's laws. In the end, he even attracted the help of the Ancient Epoch's Ruler.
However, this time, the strength of the Martial Epoch was not just a little stronger. If another Sovereign Personage charged in, that would just be seeking death.
Even if there were several Rulers, they would not be able to do anything to the Martial Epoch.
The ten-odd half-step Rulers did not look like they were a match for a Ruler. However, when they worked together, they could still delay a Ruler.
This time, the situation was impregnable. This was especially so because Ye Xiwen and Qin Monarch had a good relationship and supported each other. This time, it would be much easier to mend the heavens.
Soon, Ye Xiwen flew into the chaos, and sat cross-legged in it. Then, a world automatically appeared around his body.
What kind of world was that? It could be said to be filled with immortal energy, full of life. Creatures lived freely and happily. Meanwhile, outside this world, countless stars orbited about, as if it was a real world.
And Ye Xiwen was sitting upright in this world.
At this time, Ye Xiwen opened his eyes. In his eyes, the world was no longer the same as before. Instead, it seemed to be composed of countless rules.
Strands of Laws and Nomological Origins appeared in front of him.
The Three Thousand Martial Paths were the core of the Martial Epoch. They should have been perfected by now. However, in Ye Xiwen's eyes, they were still far from perfected.
There were also loopholes. Although there weren't many loopholes, it was far from perfect. Right now, he wanted to patch up the heavens and patch up the Heavenly Dao.
This was an extremely terrifying process. Previously, when he was patching up the heavens, Ye Xiwen was caught off guard and suffered a backlash from the rules. He was severely injured. If he hadn't been careful and didn't dare to take large strides forward, he would have been severely injured on the spot.
This time, he was even more prepared. He integrated himself into the Heavenly Dao. His entire body seemed to disappear from the world as he gradually integrated into the Heavenly Dao.
Only by integrating into the Martial Epoch's Heavenly Dao could he mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao to mend the heavens. Ye Xiwen's entire body emitted a golden light of virtue. This was something from the Epoch's Heavenly Dao and wouldn't be rejected.
His entire body seemed to be wandering in the Heavenly Dao. During this process, he started to mend the heavens.
Ye Xiwen started to form hand seals. Great Dao after Great Dao flew out of his body.
He had condensed these Great Dao over the years. He had been in closed-door cultivation all these years without seeking a breakthrough. This was because he knew that if he wanted to break through, he had to enter the Ruler Realm.
Therefore, he had been condensing the Great Dao over the years. He condensed the Great Dao that he had comprehended from the wordless Dao Stele and used it to mend the heavens.
These were Great Dao that had once appeared in a certain epoch. They had disappeared due to the change of the epoch. Now, Ye Xiwen had condensed them again. Moreover, he had already circulated them in his body. He could integrate them with the three thousand Martial Paths in his body. That was why he dared to try.
Every attempt, every release of the Great Dao, had actually gone through countless calculations and deductions.
He didn't release them hastily.
Everyone's eyes were on Ye Xiwen. When Ye Xiwen started to mend the heavens, everyone could see countless golden lights falling into that magical world and into Ye Xiwen's body.
Every time he mended a Great Dao, some golden light of virtue would fall on his body and be absorbed by him.
This was a reward from the Heavenly Dao!
However, Ye Xiwen's expression didn't change. He was like an ancient well without any ripples. He devoted himself to mending the heavens. With his previous experience, he understood how dangerous it was to mend the heavens.
As Ye Xiwen mended the first Great Dao, the entire Martial Epoch started to change in an instant. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Ordinary creatures didn't feel it too deeply. However, the cultivators, especially the Emperor Lords and Heavenly Venerables, felt it the most. They could feel that the Great Dao had changed. It seemed to have deviated from their initial understanding.
It was as if the originally unchanging world had started to change drastically.
They looked at Ye Xiwen, who was mending the heavens, with some reverence in their eyes. This was the change brought about by that stalwart figure.
They knew that after Ye Xiwen mended the heavens, the Martial Epoch's Heavenly Dao would become more obscure and difficult to understand. However, at the same time, it would become more extensive. This meant that the path in front of them had suddenly expanded a lot.
The path was unfamiliar, but it was also wider!
One Great Dao after another was mended. This was a long process. Mending a Great Dao would take hundreds of years.
Even with Ye Xiwen's cultivation, he didn't dare to relax when it came to this problem. Because the result of relaxing might be fatal.
As Great Dao after Great Dao was mended, the Martial Epoch's Heavenly Dao actually started to stop declining. Originally, the decline of an epoch was unstoppable. In other words, humans couldn't stop it. This was the result of the epoch's natural operation.
Just like how humans aged and died, the epoch was the same. Humans couldn't stop their own aging, illness, and death. The epoch was the same unless it was injected with new vitality.
And Ye Xiwen was doing such a thing!
All kinds of astronomical phenomena in the entire Martial Epoch started to appear. It seemed to be corresponding to Ye Xiwen's mending the heavens.
Everyone was extremely nervous because Ye Xiwen's success or failure was related to their own interests.
Unknowingly, more than a dozen Half-step Sovereigns had formed a formation around Ye Xiwen to protect him. Although the possibility of the Ancient Era coming again wasn't very high, they still had to guard against it because they couldn't afford to fail.
One Great Dao after another. When Ye Xiwen mended 99 Great Dao, he started mending the 100th Great Dao.
Suddenly, Ye Xiwen's eyes opened wide. He spat out a mouthful of blood essence. Numerous wounds appeared all over his body. His skin started to age. His thick black hair also started to turn gray.
"Martial Monarch!"
Many people exclaimed. However, they didn't dare to disturb him. Although they could see that Ye Xiwen was suffering from the Heavenly Dao's backlash, they didn't dare to interfere. This was because this domain was too unfamiliar to them. They couldn't even enter it.
This had nothing to do with their level. Even Sovereigns couldn't enter this domain.
Ye Xiwen endured it, and his eyes became clear again.
"Ninety-nine Great Dao. Is this the limit?" Ye Xiwen couldn't help but mutter to himself.
This time, Xiao Chen had succeeded in mending the heavens. He had mended ninety-nine Great Dao in one go. The entire Martial Epoch had changed drastically. The gloomy aura of destruction had vanished, returning to its peak.
Compared to the previous peak, this peak was even stronger and more terrifying.
Many people could clearly feel that their Great Dao was more stable. Their future path was wider.
Originally, they were like fish jumping in a pond. Now that the pond was a little bigger, there was more space for them to move around.
Ye Xiwen had no reason to be unhappy. Compared to the previous time, this success was much better. Moreover, it had been ten thousand years since he started mending the Heavens.
In these ten thousand years, he didn't move at all. He just kept mending the Heavens. The dozen half-step Sovereigns also didn't move at all to protect him.
"The difficulty of completing a Great Dao isn't the same for every Great Dao. Instead, the difficulty increases with every Great Dao I complete. Completing the 99th Great Dao is already my limit. Completing 100 Great Dao is simply unrealistic!"
A worried look appeared on Ye Xiwen's face.
After mending a hundred Great Dao, the Martial Epoch could prosper for a while. However, this method didn't solve the root cause. When the next decline came, he would have to think of a way to continue mending Great Dao.
However, this was the best method he could think of. He could only wait for the next time. However, before the next Heavenly Dao decline, he had to think of a way to become stronger.
